Well heck. I just went down a very pleasant rabbit hole reading several pages of the 2018 Cohort thread (it's very celebratory and jovial over there -- highly recommended) and found myself jealous of the camaraderie. A little poking around, and here y'all are!
Adding myself to this group -- my husband and I don't have anyone in our IRL friend group to share this FIRE goal or compare notes with, so I'll look to you!
Current status: me 35, him 34, HCOL area where we plan to stay indefinitely, so our goals aren't tiny. Currently DINKs; looking to add a child to the mix. We are frugal in some ways and spendy in others (and are generally comfortable with that). My current projections actually have us peace-ing out of the workforce in 2032 (ages 49/48), but it's far enough away that I feel cadging on to this group is fair. Stash goal is ~$1.5M (25x $60K) + a paid-off house (or, more likely, the payoff equivalent in additional fungible assets); as of the end of March 2018, we're at a stash of ~$260K + ~22% equity in our home (which we just purchased in 2016).
Our savings rate was around 50% last year and should be a skosh higher this year; beyond that, more is uncertain because, you know, LIFE. Factors that could get us to our goal faster include pay raises/job changes/bonuses (which I've completely ignored in my estimates for now), good stock market returns (I use 5% in my estimates and don't adjust for inflation), increasing our savings rate once we get more settled in our house (we're admittedly spending quite a bit this year to get the space set up the way we want it, and my estimates assume we keep that level of spending going indefinitely, which is probably not actually true), and perhaps a smallish inheritance or two (also not calculated in). Factors that could set us back include unexpected unemployment or voluntarily (or involuntarily) trading down to lower-paying gigs, IVF or adoption expenses (the adding of the desired child has proven to be more difficult than expected thus far), unexpected child-raising expenses (daycare is factored into my estimates, as is providing ~$100K toward higher education... but expensive violins or Olympic-level ski jump training or serious health/developmental needs aren't considered), or any manner of unpredictable health calamities for DH and myself.
Greetings, all!
